The answer is D: the audience knows something the character or characters don't.

 Dramatic irony is an important <em>stylistic device</em> usually used in movies, plays etc. with the purpose of creating situations in the plot, such as causes of conflict and their resolution, <em>which are </em><em>known only by the audience</em> even <em>before the leading characters</em>. It emphasizes and conveys emotions more effectively.

The correct answer is D. The audience knows something the character or the characters don't.

This is a pretty common literary technique used in plays and its usage goes as far back as Ancient Greece. This is especially noticeable in tragedies where the audience knows what is being plotted while the main characters do not.

Which line is an example of a subjective opinion? It seems that Kahlo’s parents did not care about their daughter. Frida Kahlo’s
Volgvan
<span>The answer to the question is, "It seems that Kahlo's parents did not care about their daughter." This statement is asserting a subjective opinion that is open to interpretation depending on the overall emotion of the reader and author. The other statements, "Frida Kahlo's parents did not visit her in the hospital. The Kahlo family struggled with poverty and other issues. Matita, Frida's sister, came frequently to help at the hospital," are just asserting facts, not opinions.</span>

I MET a traveler from an antique land
Aleks [24]

Answer:

Learning the king expected his statue to crumble.

Explanation:

Situational irony is when something that is expected did not happen but rather, the exact opposite happens. This means that the expected outcome is not what happens, but far from it. The outcome is the complete opposite of the expected outcome.

In the given lines of the poem "Ozymandias" by Percy Bysshe Shelley, the additional situational irony is if the king expected his statue to crumble. It is obvious that King Ozymandias constructed the statue to last long and be a symbol of his power and influence. But ironically, the statue crumbles, leaving little to no evidence of his power. So, if he were to expect the statue to last long, the situational irony will be that he expected it to crumble.

Thus, the correct answer is the third option.
